Wrong Words


I wanna say all the right words, but not to you.

I wanna say all the right things to me. I wanna tell myself to just let it all go.

I wanna tell myself that love isn't worth the try. But I don’t wanna listen.

I don't wanna believe every smile you gave me was misled.

I wanna believe that this is worth the fight.

I don't want to wake up to an empty space.

I don't want the truth. I want it to all be wrong.

That's all I can say...and it's all the wrong words.
